Galatians 5:16-18 This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.
17 For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.
18 But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law.

Matthew 12:49-50 And HE (Jesus) stretched forth HIS hand toward his disciples, and said, Behold MY mother and MY brethren!
50 For whosoever shall do the will of MY Father which is in heaven, the same is MY brother, and sister, and mother.
(Comments by Pam Padgett:
We can become discouraged when family members of the flesh ("blood relatives") separate themselves from us as a result of our obeying God, being led by the Holy Spirit.
But it is strengthening and a great comfort and joy to understand that those who do the will of God are our family ... our brother, sister, and mother. We have unity of the Spirit with these.)

1 John 3:1-3 Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew HIM not.
2 Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when HE shall appear, we shall be like HIM; for we shall see HIM as HE is.
3 And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as HE is pure.
